Then immediately informed them that something ancient was waking beneath the city. Not ideal hospitality. The great golden tree shimmered overhead. Its leaves rustled without wind. Its roots stretched deep into the unseen darkness below. The Heart pulsed again. Boom. Steady. But weaker than before. Almost tired. I rested my hand against the ancient trunk. Warm. Familiar. The Heart answered with a soft glow. Like an old friend. Like a promise. "It has held this city together for centuries," I said quietly. My voice echoed gently through the vast chamber.

Elena spent the nights in the vanguard's command tent, her fingers stained with indigo ink as she meticulously transcribed her laboratory data into fresh royal ledgers, preparing for the inevitable interrogation by the High Court. On the morning of the fourth day, the white marble spires of the Ancient Royal Palace rose out of the horizon like gleaming shards of ice. Surrounding the palace was the central capital city—a sprawling, densely populated fortress protected by massive stone walls that had stood for a thousand years. As the heavy iron gates groaned open to admit the returning army, the streets erupted into a chaotic symphony of sound. Thousands of citizens lined the cobblestone path

"And what is waiting behind them?" The original Seraphina's eyes flashed in the dim light. "The very reason your world was built on top of this dead city." ​The black crack in the sky widened with a sickening tear of reality. Something massive shifted in the darkness behind it—something that felt neither like the First Hunger nor Aurelian, but an entity of staggering, ancient scale. ​The underground city groaned, buildings collapsing in distant quarters as the ground heaved. The Queen's Guard rose from their knees in a silent, fluid motion. Lyra brought her sword up, and Kael stepped shoulder-to-shoulder with me.

“Yes.” Darius stepped forward. “You lied to us.” The woman looked at him. “No.” “You told me that you were the First Creation.” “I was.” “But you are the Witness.” “I am both.” Darius frowned. “That is impossible.” The woman smiled. “You have spent centuries thinking that there was only one beginning.” She looked around the ancient city. “There wasn’t.” Lina looked at the vast structures around them. “What is this place?” “The First City.” “Who built it?”

"Of the city?" "No." The old man's eyes moved to Darius. "Of the surface." Silence fell in the room. Luna glanced at the drawings again. Every black wolf faced east. "What was the city protecting the surface from?" The old man laughed quietly. "You still think the danger was outside." Darius folded his arms. "I'm getting tired of people answering questions with more disturbing questions." The old man sat down. "The eastern city was built by survivors of the previous age. When their world collapsed, they preserved knowledge beneath the sea because they believed future civilizations would eventually repeat their mistakes." *They were right,* Maeve had told them before they left. Painfully righ

"Very well. You may enter, but be warned: the city is filled with trials and dangers. Only the worthy shall uncover its secrets." With that, the statues stepped aside, allowing the clan to pass. As they entered the city, they were struck by its beauty and grandeur. Tall spires and intricately carved buildings rose up around them, their surfaces adorned with glowing runes and ancient symbols. "We need to find the central library," Alex said, her eyes scanning the surroundings. "It's said to hold the most important knowledge of the city."

The city of Bakunawa. When he turned the page to three hundred seventy-eight chapter eleven, he saw what he was looking for. The eleventh city that once ruled the entire realm. The land that was swept away and was forgotten by some. A place where the tragic rain of meteors destroyed a powerful lineage. The city of ‘Faith’. Ten minutes reading the said book, Dye displayed a weird grin on his face. A smile that sent shivers to his own people.

Agrip sighed, then began to speak again. “The term “ancients” is a significant concept in history. In one of the history books, the ancients refer to a group of powerful and ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years. They possess exceptional supernatural abilities and are deeply connected to the earth and its elements. They are portrayed as the oldest and most powerful beings in existence. They are revered and feared by vampires, as well as by humans and other supernatural creatures. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, and they are believed to have been created by a higher power or divine force.”

They spell nothing but danger to my kingdom. King Gaius and his small entourage broke into a gallop and rode many miles eastwards towards the Burg of Athena.
